The starting line the Academy is the Apple of Naples – Want …

Is it finally time dell'opening, iOS Developer Academy of Naples, commissioned by Apple in collaboration with the University Federico II. A project announced by the Tim Cook a few months ago, on the occasion of her recent trip to Italy, and today materialized with the cutting of the ribbons, the presence of the Minister of Education and Research Stefania Giannini, Lisa Jackson of Apple, the Rector Gaetano Manfredi, the Mayor of Naples, Luigi De Magistris, and the President of the Region of Campania Vincenzo De Luca. Will be 200 students in the first 9 months of the course, for a total of 1,000 within three years. In the while, coming from the Telegraph, rumors about the classrooms, courses and mode of learning.

Already, it was renamed as the "Silicon Valley Italian", the Academy Apple is close to San Giovanni a Teduccio, near Naples. Announced last spring by Tim Cook, the work continued without break until today and, over the arrangement of facilities, would be evaluated more than 4,000 nominations. However, 200 of the first lucky ones to participate in the intensive course wanted from Apple and from the university of naples, a number expected to increase to 400 next year, for a total of 1,000 in the first three years.

Great satisfaction was expressed, in the early morning, Matteo Renzi. The President of the Council, in fact, wanted to entrust the comment the microblogging platform Twitter:

Part of the Academy of Apple, as promised by Tim Cook. Naples has so much future ahead of it. If it starts again south, again the Italy.

In the meantime, as already mentioned, come from the Telegraph the first rumors about the facilities and courses. The head of the british explains how Apple has followed each step of the evolution of the project, basing their style on both the aesthetic and didactic. The classrooms are said to be large and extensive, as well as equipped with appropriate relaxation areas, since the group of Cupertino seems to have convinced the rest is functional to the learning itself. The 200 students chosen ones will be able to participate in free courses, the latter organised exclusively in English to ensure the maximum level of competitiveness to the developer tomorrow, and every participant will receive an iPhone, an iPad and a MacBook to be able to study and practice.

Naples is the first bet of the Apple on the front of the training for developers third-party, in collaboration with universities of international prestige. In the future, it seems that the company is ready to open similar academies in Brazil, India and Indonesia.
